"Those with talent who naturalise today can easily leave the country of adoption for greener pasture tomorrow; it is what these developed countries do to keep them there that really matters.

Between the hard-working stateless man who has spent much of his life toiling on Malaysian soil and the corrupt politician who continues to squander our national wealth, it does not take a genius to distinguish who is the real patriot." By Josh Hong in Malaysiakini

About me

I am a Burmese Muslim migrant Medical doctor in Malaysia for nearly two decades. As a migrant, I dare to blog only about the migrants, foreigners here and unfair policy practice on us in Malaysia. Actually your government could even use these as an input of facts viewed by outsiders.

As a minority back in Burma, we are against Myanmar Military government. We oppose them and their supporters around the world. I am trying to change the mindset of OIC and ASEAN leaders. But they are stubbornly still supporting the military leaders.

We are aiming for the meaningful dialogue leading to a reconciliation of Military rulers and opposition so that we could establish the Democratic Union of Burma/Myanmar, where democracy, respect of Human Rights, Equal Rights of Minority Ethnic Groups and Religious Groups prevail.

I had contributed about 300 articles and translated a lot of articles in Burma Digest http://burmadigest.info/archive-catalogue/ as the senior editor but stopped contribution because of the new management team’s anti-Islam policy.

I think the best thing I accomplished was my chance to Interview with Tun Dr M and Datuk Sri Datin Dr Wan Aziza.

My letters and comments were published in Asiaweek (stopped publishing), Far Eastern Economic Review, Malaysiakini and Malaysian Insider. I stopped sending letters to the New Straits Times and the Stars because although they were willing to publish them earlier now adays my POV is totally different from their editors.

My greatest defect is my English, which is not up to the standard. But I hope that- facts, figures and new ideas are more important in blogging.

Assalamu Alaikum…
Greetings from a fellow Turkistanian Muslim from Saudi Arabia. My ancestors migrated to S.A. after the Bolshevic revolution, and I am starting my blog after Eid to write about Central Asia. We have a large Burmese diaspora in Makkah. We have been forced out of our country for the same reason as you were.
May Allah give Muslims strength, and Eid Mubarak in advance.

The ARChive of Contemporary Music, along with Columbia University, is initiating a series of World Music Days, and the first one will be Muslim World Music Day set for April 12, 2011. We invite artists, promoters, bloggers, journalists, libraries, archives, collectors, venues to participate. We will create a database of all known recordings and links to all relevant information on a global scale. Any and all help is greatly appreciated – if everyone does a little a great deal can be done to celebrate the beauty and diversity of this important cultural heritage.

So if you are interested please get in touch, spread the word and share your ideas. Would love to have a Burmese commentator. The blog is up and running and website coming soon : http://arcmmcc.wordpress.com Yours, Bob George, Director arcmusic@inch.com

Dear Mr Greg Lopez,
Sorry for the late reply.
TQ for the offer.
But I have a very good excuse for this late reply and refusing to accept your offer which I regarded as a prestigious and great honour attached to it. If I sincerely write my views on this country, I would be arrested with the lame excuse of threatening their National Security or kicked out from this country. Because they know my identity, they have indirectly threatened me and harass me through Income Tax Dpt and Ministry of Health. The Special Branch sent a complaint letter to their Myanmar Countrepart and quite amusing, someone from the Myanmar authority reminded me about the SB report and advised me to be careful. For them, my blog is not a serious offence as I have no connection with arms rebels. But if I go back Burma, I could be investigated i.e. arrest. So I almost stop writting and commenting.
I hope you could understand me.
TQ again
Regards
Zafar Shah
